  • Title: [Infection due to Yersinia enterocolitica in healthy and chronically ill children (author's transl)].
    Author: Strobel S, Löhr H, Posselt HG, Wönne R, Bender SW.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1980 Dec 12; 105(50):1739-43. PubMed ID: 7439064.
    Abstract:
    A septicaemic course of infection due to Yersinia enterocolitica developed in three children, two Italian girls with thalassemia (serotype 03) and a previously healthy boy (serotype 09). There were marked gastrointestinal symptoms. The boy required two transfusions for acute haemolysis. Because it may take a serious course, the possibility of this organism as the causative agent should be considered in the differential diagnosis of severe infections, especially in patients with chronic debilitating disease. The death rate is about 30%.
